OrthoFX, a leading innovator in the clear aligner industry, is changing the paradigm of midcourse corrections. Ren Menon, OrthoFX co-founder, said: “For over two decades, midcourse corrections have been a persistent challenge. With Rescue aligners, patients can remain on track while avoiding additional office visits, digital scans and repeated aligner deliveries.”

"Rescue aligners have become an invaluable tool for practices, dramatically improving the patient experience without extending treatment duration," said Menon.

By using FXOnTrack, an AI-driven remote monitoring solution, off-track treatments are detected, and Rescue aligners are approved by the doctor and shipped directly to the patient in as little as one week.

The traditional midcourse correction process may result in eight-plus weeks in treatment delays that require the creation of a new treatment plan and may add up to 20 percent more aligner stages. Rescue aligners are designed to bring your patients back to the original treatment plan in two to three weeks without office visits.

Dr. Neil Warshawsky, orthodontist, professor and OrthoFX provider, said: “OrthoFX is aware of the challenges that plague a modern practice daily. They have a deep understanding of efficiency with clear aligner therapy and have developed systems that are hyper-focused on delivering efficient care the first time, reducing midcourse corrections. Their unique solution to recapturing cases that go off target, Rescue aligners, is an industry first.”
